The Chargers can’t keep running backs on the field.
Coach Mike McCoy told reporters that Danny Woodhead suffered a broken fibula in yesterday’s game, and would be placed on season-ending injured reserve.
That’s a huge blow for a Chargers offense that was already without Ryan Mathews.
They’ll have to make do with Donald Brown now, and after he touched the ball 36 times yesterday, he’s clearly ready for a heavy workload.
The only hope for the Chargers is that he holds up until Mathews returns.
